I suppose that everybody here knows that this is an important subject for me.
Amongst the many Ambassadors, DHMs and Defence Attaches that attended today was the Japanese Ambassador. He is a really pleasant and thoroughly decent chap, one of my favourite of the many Ambassadors I regularly deal with.
Afterwards, over a cup of tea, he said to me "This is the first Remembrance event I have ever been invited to, it was lovely and I really appreciated it".
I am gratified but also a little sad about that.
FWIW, Germany, Italy amongst many, many others also participated - 30 something countries..
It is both a time to remember and a time to forget.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
